ADL Supply Expert Application & Replacement Guide
Secura lamps are used where contamination from lamp breakage must be prevented, such as the food industry and its suppliers, health care, pharmaceuticals and cleanrooms, and where the risk of breakage is higher, such as sports halls. A single blue ring at one end identifies a Secura lamp.
The protective coating is a Teflon material rated for temperatures up to 200°C with no degradation under temperature or UV, and Philips lists the Secura as compliant with IEC 61549, the fragment retention lamp standard. It is a direct retrofit for TL5 HE lamps.

3000K – Warm white; a soft, friendly light that feels comfortable in hospitality, boutique and residential-style spaces.

Will This Lamp Fit My Fixture?
Run through this quick checklist before you order:
- Base: Check that your fixture uses a G5 socket, which has two thin pins about 5 mm apart. T8 and T12 lamps use a different, larger base.
- Length and wattage: Match the wattage and length of the lamp you are replacing (28W, 45.2 inches).
- Color: Choose the same color temperature as the other lamps in the same room so they match.
- Ballast: Use a ballast rated for T5 High Efficiency lamps of the same wattage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this lamp a direct replacement for my old lamp?
Check the wattage and lamp code printed on the end of your current lamp and match it to 28W/830. If the base, length and wattage all match, it will fit.
Can I mix different color temperatures in one fixture or room?
It is best not to. Lamps with different color temperatures look noticeably different side by side, so replace lamps in a group with the same color.
